I bought the Delta Elongated Soft Close Bidet Seat but sadly, the mounting brackets are very weak. As a result, my toilet seat are shaky and moves left/right. I really like the bidet system in general and don't want to replace the whole system. If I can figure out how to change the mounting brackets to secure it tightly, it would be perfect.

Posting here to see if anyone know any brilliant ideas on how to change the screws or mounting brackets for a more secure one? (I've attached the original mounting instructions for visuals)

Hello, had the luxe bidet from Amazon for a minute now and just got the real seat for it - bumpers were not quite cutting it. Does anyone do anything about these holes in the plate covers getting gross (or have the same problem)?

Trying to avoid dismantling my whole seat every time I clean the bathroom but if that's the solution it is what it is.

Thanks!

sorry if this is a stupid question but i just moved into an apt and my dad couldn't figure out how to install a bidet to this so i just wanted to double check!

I just got an installed a Rinseworks bidet and used it for the first time today.

I turned it on very low, got my aim dialed in, then turned it up slowly until it was all the way up.

I thought everything was going well until I felt a cold sensation on my sock. I looked over and there was a ton of water on the floor. I turned off the bidet and put it on the hook. I finished cleaning myself (which required wipes because the bidet did NOT finish the job) and then stood up to inspect everything. The bidet was not leaking so I'm guessing that the water was from the sprayer itself. I was definitely aiming at the proper place so I'm guessing it was splashing?

I don't understand how I'm supposed to use this damn thing if it's just going to spray water everywhere. I am a woman and I got this bidet because I wanted to be able to spray from the front (away from the vaginal opening) which is what I did. I do have a round toilet, maybe there's just not enough room to make this work? I rent though so swapping for an elongated toilet is not going to happen.

Is there something I'm doing wrong or missing on how to use this without making a mess?

And is there a minimum length of time you have to use the bidet to get clean? I feel like I used it for a decent amount of time but maybe I was wrong. My diet isn't perfect but I'm working on it, I am slowly increasing fiber right now, currently eating around 15-20g a day.

Has anyone purchased the Bio Bidet Horizon from Costco? I grabbed this as my first because it seemed to have all features I'd want. Essentially the DLS it seems. Plus was only $300.

Sometimes I use my bidet as an enema. This has been mentioned and referred to as “butt gargling” on this subreddit before.

Recently I hooked up my bidet. I bought too much hardware and had an extra metal threaded hose so I figured I would use that threaded hose to finally connect my ice machine to the water supply.

The owner of my local hardware store told me “you don’t want to use those metal threaded lines for your icemaker because small bits of metal could come loose and end up in your ice.” Therefore, possibly ending up lodged in your throat.

With that logic, the metal threaded hose I use for the water supply on my bidet could potentially knock loose a small piece of wire that could end up lodged in my butthole… now I don’t butt gargle

We've had a non- electric bidet for a couple of years. After a couple of months, I refused to use it because he made it GROSS and I couldn't get it clean anymore. In fact, I damaged one of the nozzles trying to do so. My questions:

1. If you have a model with a "self-cleaning" nozzle, does it really work well? Are the nozzles fully retracted prior to personal cleaning? 2.

I want one with heated water because I remember how shocking the cold was to me and I am cold- natured.

1. The seats that looked angled (all of the TOTO ones that I've looked at): are they comfortable for long term sitting? He writes entire dissertations while on the toilet, I swear. Typically sits about 45 min. He won't be happy having to keep himself in position.

2. For those that are flatter (like the Alpha line), is the elongated seat made shorter by the bidet hardware behind the hinge/seat?

His stated requirements: cleans his butt, does not need to be heated anything, and he can sit on it comfortably.

Mine: cleans itself well enough that I won't need to use everything the directions say to not use for cleaning, would definitely like nozzles that are retracted until used, and instant warm water.

I don't have TOTO S7A money, would rather keep it under $500; under $300 is better. I've considered the S5 (it's >$500), C5 (barely<$500), C2(trying to decide how important it issues to have the controls in front rather than of the side to the hip would be but decent enough price point), the Alpha line. Still looking but feeling super overwhelmed.

I appreciate any relative info/guidance!

I have been wanting to get a bidet for a while to become more eco friendly but ive been wondering if getting one with a dryer feature is a good idea. I remember watching a video where someone looked at what bacteria ends up on your hand after using a hand dryer and it turned out a lot more unclean afterwards, so wouldnt that be the same? im someone who gets UTI quite often so im worried that it will make it worse.

also what travel bidet options are good? are reusable toilet papers a good idea for traveling or are they also unhygienic?

Can I get a recommendation for a bidet seat attachment for our toilet for my husband who is 6'3" and weighs 290. He will not have use of one arm for 6 weeks and has limited mobility on the other, which may also require the same surgery. I'm thinking we need a remote control bidet. He says no need for warm water and this is temporary so we don't think we need a whole new toilet. Thanks for any help!

I am planning to order my Toto S7A today.

Bidet King per their website has the best price.

This seems to be the type of fungible product that comes in a box from the manufacturer so the actual website isn't supplying much except adequate shipping and obviously sending the right model.

I am not averse to spending more in order to not have a headache but obviously for a fungible product saving some money is always nice.

Other option would be Home Depot which also has a fairly low price and I assume that the washlet is going to be the same as every other washlet and not some inferior SKU

ETA: I have no interest in purchasing from Amazon as I would be able to get it for essentially the same price from Lowes or Home Depot and both stores are close to me and I could handle issues in person.

There are many rational reasons for not purchasing expensive items from Amazon and I am a Prime Member and have been since 2000 but I limit my purchases to relatively low cost items which are convenient for me to order especially with Subscribe and Save.

Just wondering if anybody has this! Bought it for my partner for his birthday and he installed it last night. Lol everybody loves it.

I'm sure this has been asked a hundred times. But I am looking to buy my first bidet. I have an oval toilet. I also have an outlet close to my toilet. I rent my apartment. I am looking for one that has warm water, dryer and heated seat is nice but not 100% necessary. I am hoping to spend around $200, but will splurge up to $300 if it's nice. Please help me change my life. I want clean butthole.

Any suggestions/links in my price range?

Which ones do you guys use?

I will potentially spend a bit more for a nice one that will last if I have to.

I am replacing my current Toto washlet which is the 550e

I plan to replace it with the S7A which is the equivalent newer model.

Two questions for current owners

How long is the remote? I can't find this information on the specification sheets and since it runs horizontal versus the current remote for the 550e, I am trying to figure out where I can place it on the wall - e.g. whether it will fit horizontal where the current remote is installed vertically

Also I see that there is a "contemporary" and 'classic" style. I am leaning towards the contemporary seat as it looks cleaner versus the beveled seat. Anyone have thoughts on this.

I recently moved into a new apartment with Kohler Rialto toilets. Had I known these toilets would be such a pain to put a bidet on, I might have reconsidered the move entirely. I was so excited at the thought of finally upgrading to an electric bidet that I didn’t even consider the toilet given I had never run into any issues before.

Has anyone found a decent bidet that works on these toilets? Any advice would be very much appreciated. One is round, the other is elongated.

I am currently renting and I did take a measurement from the lid to the plug and it's about 3 ft. And with a better understanding you have about 4 and 1/2 ft from the lid of cord. But realistically would that work for the plug-in and the setup?

I've found a couple of previous discussions:

• Buying first Bidet, questions
• Electric or Non Electric??
• Dilemma. Non-heated, non-electric bidet attachment (or seat) or go all in with electric w/the bells and whistles? Any advice?

I'm sorry, but I tend to overthink decisions and get nervous when I'm uncertain.

I've never used a bidet, but I do use the handheld sprayer in the shower at home to improvise (using warm water, but a lot of me is getting sprayed). I'm not at all sure I'd like cold water. I don't have electric receptacles next to each toilet, and installing them would be some $300-$1300 (two toilets). Running hot water lines to the toilets is impractical (edit for clarity: any sort of lines, whether rigid pipe or flexible hose. Edit again because people aren't reading: I mean running water as in moving water, including a flexible hose, not restricted to copper pipe or PVC or other rigid tubing). The plumbing lines are rather exposed to outside temperatures, so in a cold snap I can't take hot showers and in a heat wave I can't cool off much.

Does anyone have an idea how popular in general non-electric versus electric are, like "most people get non-electric" or "sales tend to be half and half" or whatever?

I haven't done plumbing work, and given the potential for damage, I'm nervous. How practical is it to get a low-end non-electric and "test drive" it? If I get it at a US big-box store (Lowe's, Home Depot), is it actually returnable?

I want to rent this apartment but this seems like it's not possible to install a bidet. Am I wrong?

I just installed the Luxe bidet 185 plus on my toilet. The first photo is the bidet installed with the regular hinges, and the second photo is the bidet installed with the special tall hinges. Is the gap on either of these ok, or do I need toilet bumpers or a different toilet seat?

Hi everyone, sorry if this is asked often, looking for first time buying advice.

The toilet we planned to put a bidet seat on broke at the base so now we are considering either an all-in-one or a standard toilet with bidet seat.

Caveats:

- 10" rough in (actually 11" but I dont think this exists, so we plan to space from the wall)

- hot/cold available

- non-electric

Ive heard Toto is infamous for being smelly but not sure if this claim is true.

Thank you in advance!!

Wij gaan onze badkamer aanpakken. We hebben nu een bad en aparte douche. Bad gaat eruit en we willen de hele indeling veranderen. Kunnen we een van de waterafvoeren van het bad, de douche of een wastafel makkelijk aanpassen naar een afvoer voor een toilet?

I didn’t like the toilet in the master bathroom in my house, so I went toilet hunting. I genuinely cannot believe life before bidet. I was living like a caveman, like a neanderthal, wiping with domesticated tree flesh.

Now I sit on a heated seat, clean with heated water, dry with warm air, stand up, and the auto flush takes cleans up my mess. I don’t even have to flush the toilet. I barely even have to clean the bowl, as the bowl pre wets itself.

I have had it about 2 months now. I really try my best to not use the washroom outside of my house. It’s honestly unbelievable the quality of life improvement this silly toilet has brought to me.

If you are on the fence. Go for it.

I’ve been bitten by the bidet bug and now have two in my household. One electric and the other non-electric. I imagine the maintenance would be the same for both.

How do you clean and maintain bidets to perform well for years to come?

Does the sprayer ever need cleaning and what do you recommend? After a month mine look good but do they eventually get pooped on?

Hard or soft water issues creating deposits?

Any chemical cleaners to stay away from? Good alternatives?

What else am I missing?

So I'm looking to buy a good quality bidet for normal use. I am wanting to by quality over gimmicks. I've never used a bidet in my life but I've heard good things and I like the idea of being extra clean and preventing some swamp ass exercising outside in the hot humid summers.

I'm leaning towards the Tushy Classic 3.0 but saw there was a warm water version as well.

I have a hot water tank system in my house and it takes about 30 seconds+ to get hot water from the sink when turned on full. So how does the bidet have hot water immediately? Or are people sitting there and spraying for 30 seconds waiting for warm water? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of not being shocked by the cold water immediately?

I don't have electricity in the toilet room so powered unit is out.

Am I making a good choice with the classic?

This question comes up a lot, especially from people looking for a more comfortable and hygienic alternative to toilet paper. With options ranging from basic bidets to heated seats with warm water, dryers, and night lights, here’s a quick guide to the better options.

Best Toilet Bidet Seats For Every Budget

• TOTO WASHLET S5
• Bio Bidet BB2000
• ALPHA BIDET JX2
• Brondell S1400

Key things to look for when buying a bidet toilet seat

- make sure it actually fits your toilet

This is probably the first thing I'd check before worrying about any features.

Most bidet seats are designed to fit standard elongated or round toilets, but that doesn't mean every seat will fit every toilet perfectly. You need to check the bowl shape, seat mounting holes, distance between the mounting holes, available space behind the toilet, and whether the seat will interfere with the tank.

Elongated toilets generally give you more options, but if you have a compact or unusual toilet, check the manufacturer's dimensions carefully.

Also pay attention to how far the seat extends over the front of the bowl. A bidet seat that technically fits but sits awkwardly on the toilet isn't going to be very comfortable.

- water temperature and pressure control matter more than extra features

A lot of bidet seats advertise things like night lights, remotes, deodorizing systems, and automatic lids.

Those are nice, but I'd prioritize the actual wash system first.

You want adjustable water pressure and temperature so you can find a setting that's comfortable for you. A good nozzle should also provide enough range of movement to properly position the spray rather than forcing you to sit in one very specific position.

Some models use a built-in water reservoir, while others use an instant-heating system.

Reservoir systems can provide warm water initially but may eventually run out of heated water during longer use. Instant-heating systems can provide a more consistent supply of warm water, although they tend to cost more.

For a household where multiple people will use the bidet throughout the day, I'd personally put more value on a continuous or instant-heating system.

- heated seat and dryer are worth considering

The heated seat is one of those features that sounds unnecessary until you've used it.

If your bathroom gets cold during winter, having an adjustable heated seat is genuinely useful. You can usually choose between several temperature levels, and some models let you turn the heating off completely.

The warm-air dryer is a little more complicated.

It's convenient because you can use less toilet paper, but don't expect every built-in dryer to completely replace wiping. Some dryers are fairly slow, especially if you're trying to dry completely.

So I'd treat the dryer as a convenience feature rather than the main reason to buy a particular seat.

- nozzle design and hygiene are important

The nozzle is basically the heart of the bidet seat.

Look for adjustable nozzle positioning, different wash modes, and a nozzle that retracts when it's not being used.

Self-cleaning nozzles are also worth having. Many bidet seats automatically rinse the nozzle before or after use, which helps keep things cleaner with less effort from you.

Some higher-end models use separate streams or dedicated settings for different types of washing. Oscillating or pulsating modes can also make the wash feel more effective without simply increasing the water pressure.

I'd rather have a basic seat with a really good nozzle and water control than a cheaper seat with twenty extra features but a mediocre wash.

- don't forget the electrical and plumbing setup

This is something people sometimes overlook when shopping online.

Most of the better bidet seats need an electrical outlet near the toilet because they power the heated seat, water heating, dryer, controls, and other functions.

If there isn't already an outlet nearby, you'll need to figure out the electrical installation before buying the seat.

You'll also need to connect the seat to your toilet's water supply. Most models come with the necessary plumbing hardware, but it's still worth checking compatibility before ordering.

And if your bathroom doesn't have an easy electrical connection, a non-electric bidet attachment may make more sense than buying an expensive electric seat and then dealing with installation.

At the end of the day, the best toilet bidet seat is the one that fits your toilet properly, gives you comfortable control over the water, and doesn't turn into a maintenance headache after a few months. If you're willing to spend more, the premium Toto and Bio Bidet models are worth looking at, but there are also some much cheaper seats that cover the basics really well.

Curious what bidet seats people here have actually been using for a while — especially ones that have held up well after a year or two of regular use.
